Chapter 417 Body Refiner
More than an hour later, Xiao Linfei arrived over a small island.
The island in front of us is only about forty or fifty miles long and wide, and most of it is covered with lush mountain forests. In the middle of the island is a hill two to three hundred feet high, and at the foot of the hill is a lake several acres in size.
Several streams extend from the lake, like emerald green ribbons, almost running through the entire island.
There is a slightly flat open space between the foot of the mountain and the seaside. There are rows of wooden houses there, extending to less than a mile close to the seaside.
There is also a small pier on the seaside with a dozen wooden boats moored on it.
The small village in front of him probably only had a few dozen households and a few hundred people. Xiao Lin could clearly see a few children playing in the village.
Xiao Lin pressed the escape light and fell towards the small pier.
At this time, several fishermen on the pier who were sorting their fishing nets also saw the light falling from the sky. Their faces showed surprise, and then after seeing Xiao Lin's figure, they all showed awe.
An old man with a goatee in his fifties and two strong men walked towards Xiao Lin.
"May I ask this immortal master, what happened when he came to our small fishing village?" The old man with the goatee came to Xiao Lin and asked carefully with a bit of anxiety on his face.
"I have registered in Xianju Pavilion and will practice on this island for a period of time." Xiao Lin did not hide anything and said calmly. He couldn't help but look at the two strong men. The two men gave him The feeling was very strange. Obviously there was no power flowing in the two people's bodies, but it gave him a very powerful feeling.
"Ah, really." Upon hearing Xiao Lin's answer, the anxiety on the face of the old man with the goatee disappeared, and was replaced by a hint of joy.
Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel a little strange. Although he was practicing here, it was not necessarily a good thing for these villagers. As for what the old man of Xianju Pavilion said about protecting these villagers, Xiao Lin had even forgotten it. .
"The little old man's surname is Liu, and he is the village chief of Qingxi Village. The island we are on is called Qingxi Island. Because the spiritual energy on the island is relatively thin, the several immortal masters who came here all left after practicing for a few years. ”
"Aren't you worried that I will leave soon?" After hearing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile slightly and said.
"The little boy didn't mean to tease the immortal master. The sea around Qingxi Island is rich in fish and is originally a good fishing place. People from other larger islands like to come to us to buy these fish. Good thing, at this rate, we, the villagers of Qingxi Village, will have no problem accumulating two to three hundred low-grade spiritual stones in one year."
There was a hint of surprise on Xiao Lin's face. Although these two to three hundred low-grade spiritual stones were not much in his opinion, such a mortal fishing village could actually accumulate two to three hundred low-grade spiritual stones in one year. Then It’s not easy anymore.
The village chief looked at Xiao Lin and continued: "But more than ten years ago, in the dense forest on our Qingxi Island, a swarm of iron-backed bees came from nowhere. Each of these iron-backed bees had an extraordinary ability." The strength of a first-level monster."
"Originally, our village has also trained several body refiners. They can still deal with the elementary level monsters. However, these iron-backed bees are very cunning. When they encounter the body refiners in our village, they choose to hide. There are so many of them and they are good at flying and hiding, but there is nothing we can do against them.”
"After offending these iron-backed bee queens, they specifically look for the old and the weak, women and children. In the past few years, at least twenty or thirty old and weak villagers have died from the poison of the iron-backed bees. Originally, at least 20 or 30 old and weak villagers in our village have died. There are more than a thousand people, but now there are very few left.”
"Do you want me to help you deal with those iron-backed bees?" After Xiao Lin heard this, he finally understood the village chief's intention. At the same time, it suddenly dawned on him that the two strong men behind the village chief should be He calls him a body refiner.
"We also hope that the Immortal Master will take pity on us. As long as the Immortal Master helps us kill these iron-backed bees, our Qingxi Village is willing to donate two hundred low-grade spiritual stones every year to help the Immortal Master practice the immortal method."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but fell silent. This iron-backed wasp was also a kind of monster insect. Its body was as hard as iron and it came and went quickly. Moreover, the poisonous stinger on its tail was also very deadly to ordinary mortals.
The small fishing village in front of him was not completely slaughtered by the swarm of iron-backed bees, which was really beyond Xiao Lin's expectation. This made him look at the two strong men a few more times.
After a while, Xiao Lin said: "Since Xiao has come to your island and wants to set up a cave here to practice, he will naturally help you clean up these iron-backed bees. In addition, can the village chief explain to Xiao the so-called What exactly is a body refiner? Is it a training method?
After hearing Xiao Lin's question, the village chief showed a surprised expression on his old face, but he quickly replied: "Is it possible that the immortal master is not a native of our Eastern Territory?"
Seeing Xiao Lin shaking his head, the village chief continued: "It's no wonder. In fact, the so-called Body Refiner is not a practice, but just a name for some mortals who have practiced Body Refining. Since Immortal Master It is normal for people who are not from the Eastern Territory to be unfamiliar with body refiners, so I will let the little old man give a brief introduction to the immortal master."
…
It turns out that in the Eastern Territory, due to the large number of monsters in the sea, and these monsters are weird and weird, with all types and abilities, it is really difficult to deal with them just by a small number of immortal cultivators.
After all, for these high-ranking immortal cultivators, they will not let down their bodies and kill some low-level monsters every day. What's more, the materials on such monsters are of little value. Naturally, they will not put their precious Time is wasted on this.
And because mortals living in the Eastern Territory are always faced with the invasion of these low-level monsters, over time, the group of body refiners was formed.
The so-called body refiners are those ordinary mortals who cannot practice immortal magic. They soak their bodies in the blood of some special monsters to strengthen their body functions. After practicing to a certain level, they can even become invulnerable to weapons, fire and water. A collective name for people.
The body refiners are all extremely powerful. Those who have reached a high level can even easily lift tens of thousands of kilograms of heavy objects and walk as if they were walking on flat ground.
Throughout the Eastern Territory, mortals live widely in countless islands and fairy cities. The number of groups is extremely large, and the best among them have begun to practice through the art of body refining and have become body refiners.
After becoming a body refiner, not only will they be enshrined by those mortals every year, they will not have to worry about food and drink, but they will also have fixed spiritual stones to enshrine every year. In some places, they will even purchase some monster blood on a regular basis and donate it to these people. Body refiner.
The only mission of these body refiners is to kill these ordinary mortals when they are attacked by monsters, so as to ensure the safety of a large number of mortals.
This has led to the fact that in the entire Eastern Territory, in addition to the high-ranking immortal cultivators, there are also a large number of body refiners. After hundreds of thousands of years of development, the body refiners' cultivation methods have also formed a complete system.
The realms of body refiners are not divided into the five realms of Qi refining, foundation building, golden elixir, Yuanying, and Shen transformation like those of immortal cultivators. Instead, they are divided into three realms: primary, intermediate, and high based on their strength. .
Each realm is divided into three small realms: low grade, middle grade and high grade. The three large realms basically correspond to the three levels of monsters, namely ordinary level, true level and emperor level.
After learning this, Xiao Lin was truly shocked. It was an exaggeration for ordinary mortals to be able to cultivate to the point where they could compete with emperor-level monsters.
Xiao Lin couldn't help but become interested in the training method of this body trainer, and it was only after the village chief's detailed explanation that Xiao Lin understood it.
It turns out that although body refiners are divided into three major realms: primary, intermediate and high-level, there are only a handful of people who can truly cultivate to high-level. In the entire Eastern Territory, there are only those who can truly cultivate body to high-level. Never more than ten people.
After all, ordinary mortals only have a lifespan of a mere hundred years. Even if the time spent by a body refiner in practicing is far less than the immortal arts practiced by an immortal cultivator, it is still time-consuming and labor-intensive. An ordinary mortal, spending his whole life, can refine the magic. When a body practitioner reaches the intermediate level, it is enough to honor one's ancestors.
It can be said that almost 99% of the body refiners are at the elementary level. Those who can enter the intermediate level are almost all geniuses. As for cultivating to the high level, it is not as simple as being a genius. Not only does it require extreme High talent also requires some great opportunities.
For a mortal, the probability of advancing to the realm of a high-level body refiner is not much different from that of a monk entering the divine transformation stage. In short, it is difficult.
As for the exercises practiced by body refiners, they can be seen everywhere in the cities of the Eastern Territory, but some intermediate body exercises are very rare. Even if you can get the intermediate body exercises, It may not be possible to reach the realm of intermediate body training.
As for high-level body-refining techniques, it is rumored that they only exist in a few major body-refining families in a few great immortal cities, and this type of technique is almost passed down orally from generation to generation, and it is impossible to spread it.
And even if you get high-level body-training techniques, you won't be able to master them without a monster-like talent and the great opportunity of God's favor.
The village chief also generously told Xiao Lin that there were five body refiners in Qingxi Village, but except for one elementary-level mid-level practitioner, the other four were all elementary-level low-level warriors. Monsters are okay, but if they encounter monsters above the mortal level, their Qingxi Village will be in danger.
Although the Falling Star Islands are located in the Burning Immortal Sea and have been managed by the human race for hundreds of thousands of years. Almost all high-level monsters have disappeared, but nothing is absolute. God knows whether a group of low-level monsters somewhere will suddenly enter. A high-level monster came out.
Moreover, the so-called distinction between the outer sea of ten thousand monsters and the inner sea of ten thousand monsters is not absolute. It often happens that some high-level monsters escape to the Burning Immortal Sea.
Once a high-level mortal monster appears, it is entirely possible to kill all the villagers on the island.
